Ok I had my chemo b4 my RC because my surgeon felt it best to this way since the my cancer was contained to bladder from what they saw. Now others are told by their Dr's it is better to get the RC done and then the chemo. But what I have seen at this site alot is the person gets the surgery done say it is a male they have their bladder and prostrate out and their surgeon comes back and tells them their Path Report is clean and no need for chemo. How do they know for sure that a couple of cells might have taken off and moved to another spot in the body. My point here if you get the surgery either way, why not get the chemo whether it is your Dr's call to do b4 or do after. Other wise why bother having the terms neoadjuvant chemo or adjuvant chemo especially if your not going to get it done. Just curious, Joe ;)
